hi Gordon,

What tools did you use to lighten the top fuselage block?....... I'm guessing a router bit in a drill press.

Nice build and lightening methods....... there is a fellow - Tom Clark - in the U.S. whose methods of lightening the fuselage are pretty radical and he used this with multiple larger models..... here is a link to his build thread of a 78" wingspan Chaos powered by a ST 2300 that has an all up weight of 8 pounds.....

good luck on your build,
